J Thromb Haemost 2023; 21:2941-2952. [PMID: 37481072 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtha.2023.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet count alone does not reliably predict bleeding risk, suggesting platelet function is important to monitor in patients with thrombocytopenia. There is still an unmet need for improved platelet function diagnostics in patients with low platelet count in many clinical situations. Flow cytometry is a promising tool allowing reliable platelet function study in this setting. OBJECTIVES The goal of this joint project between the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Scientific Standardization Committee (SSC) Subcommittees on Platelet Physiology and Platelet Immunology is to provide expert consensus guidance on the use of flow cytometry for the evaluation of platelet function, particularly activation, in patients with low platelet counts. METHODS A literature review was performed to identify relevant questions and areas of interest. An electronic expression of interest form was thereafter announced on the ISTH webpage, followed by a survey encompassing 37 issues regarding preanalytical, analytical, postanalytical, and performance aspects. Areas of disagreement or uncertainty were identified and formed the basis for 2 focus group discussions. RESULTS Consensus recommendations relative to patient sample collection, preanalytical variables, sample type, platelet-count cutoff, any potential specific modification of the standard flow cytometry protocol, and results expression and reporting are proposed based on the current practices of experts in the field as well as on literature review. CONCLUSION The proposed consensus recommendations would allow standardization of protocols in upcoming clinical studies. The clinical utility of platelet function testing using flow cytometry to predict bleeding risk still needs rigorous multicenter outcome studies in patients with thrombocytopenia.

Abstract
Besides its importance as a livestock species, pig is increasingly being used as an animal model for biomedical research. Macrophages play critical roles in immunity to pathogens, tissue development, homeostasis and tissue repair. These cells are also primary targets for replication of viruses such as African swine fever virus, classical swine fever virus, and porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus, which can cause huge economic losses to the pig industry. In this article, we review the current status of knowledge on porcine macrophages, starting by reviewing the markers available for their phenotypical characterization and following with the characteristics of the main macrophage populations described in different organs, as well as the effect of polarization conditions on their phenotype and function. We will also review available cell lines suitable for studies on the biology of porcine macrophages and their interaction with pathogens.

Abstract
In patients with normal plasmatic coagulation and bleeding tendency, platelet function defect can be assumed. Congenital platelet function defects are rare. Much more commonly they are acquired. The clinical bleeding tendency of platelet function defects is heterogeneous, which makes diagnostic approaches difficult. During the years, a large variety of tests for morphological phenotyping and functional analysis have been developed. The diagnosis of platelet function defects is based on standardized bleeding assessment tools followed by a profound morphological evaluation of the platelets. Platelet function assays like light transmission aggregation, luminoaggregometry, and impedance aggregometry followed by flow cytometry are commonly used to establish the diagnosis in these patients. Nevertheless, despite great efforts, standardization of these tests is poor and in most cases, quality control is lacking. In addition, these tests are still limited to specialized laboratories. This review summarizes the approaches to morphologic phenotyping and platelet testing in patients with suspected platelet dysfunction, beginning with a standardized bleeding score and ending with flow cytometry testing. The diagnosis of a functional defect requires a good collaboration between the laboratory and the clinician.

Abstract
Flow cytometry is increasingly used in the study of platelets in inherited and acquired disorders of platelet number and function. However, wide variation exists in specific reagents, methods, and equipment used, making interpretation and comparison of results difficult. The goal of the present study was to provide expert consensus guidance on the use of flow cytometry for the evaluation of platelet disorders. A modified RAND/UCLA survey method was used to obtain a consensus among 11 experts from 10 countries across four continents, on the appropriateness of statements relating to clinical utility, pre-analytical variables, instrument and reagent standardization, methods, reporting, and quality control for platelet flow cytometry. Feedback from the initial survey revealed that uncertainty was sometimes due to lack of expertise with a particular test condition rather than unavailable or ambiguous data. To address this, the RAND method was modified to allow experts to self-identify statements for which they could not provide expert input. There was uniform agreement among experts in the areas of instrument and reagent standardization, methods, reporting, and quality control and this agreement is used to suggest best practices in these areas. However, 25.9% and 50% of statements related to pre-analytical variables and clinical utility, respectively, were rated as uncertain. Thus, while citrate is the preferred anticoagulant for many flow cytometric platelet tests, expert opinions differed on the acceptability of other anticoagulants, particularly heparin. Lack of expert consensus on the clinical utility of many flow cytometric platelet tests indicates the need for rigorous multicenter clinical outcome studies.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in either NPC1 (95% of cases) or NPC2. Reduced late endosome/lysosome calcium (Ca2+) levels and the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and sphingolipids within the late endocytic system characterize this disease. We previously reported impaired lysosome-related organelle (LRO) function in Npc1 -/- Natural Killer cells; however, the potential contribution of impaired acid compartment Ca2+ flux and LRO function in other cell types has not been determined. Here, we investigated LRO function in NPC1 disease platelets. We found elevated numbers of circulating platelets, impaired platelet aggregation and prolonged bleeding times in a murine model of NPC1 disease. Electron microscopy revealed abnormal ultrastructure in murine platelets, consistent with that seen in a U18666A (pharmacological inhibitor of NPC1) treated megakaryocyte cell line (MEG-01) exhibiting lipid storage and acidic compartment Ca2+ flux defects. Furthermore, platelets from NPC1 patients across different ages were found to cluster at the lower end of the normal range when platelet numbers were measured and had platelet volumes that were clustered at the top of the normal range. Taken together, these findings highlight the role of acid compartment Ca2+ flux in the function of platelet LROs.

Abstract
Evaluation of platelet function is important for understanding the physiology of hemostasis and thrombosis and is utilized in clinical practice to diagnose inherited and acquired platelet bleeding disorders. Flow cytometry is a powerful tool for rapid evaluation of multiple functional properties of large number of platelets in whole blood and offers many advantages over other traditional methods. Attention to pre-analytical factors is required to ensure biologically valid and robust results.

Abstract
Flow cytometry is a method that allows high throughput analysis of individual cells in suspension. By inclusion of fluorescently labelled antibodies, it is possible to analyze the abundance of one or more surface antigens, such as LAMP-1, without prior lysis of cells. Here we describe the special considerations required for the investigation of lysosomal exocytosis from platelets analyzed with flow cytometry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Storage lesions may prevent transfused platelets to respond to agonists and arrest bleeding. The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the capacity of platelet activation during storage using flow cytometry and new markers of platelet activation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Activation responses of platelets prepared by apheresis were measured on days 1, 5, 7 and 12. In addition, comparisons were made for platelet concentrates stored until swirling was affected. Lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 (LAMP-1), P-selectin and phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure were assessed by flow cytometry on platelets in different subpopulations in resting state or following stimulation with platelet agonists (cross-linked collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL), PAR1- and PAR4-activating peptides). RESULTS The ability to form subpopulations upon activation was significantly decreased already at day 5 for some agonist combinations. The agonist-induced exposure of PS and LAMP-1 also gradually decreased with time. Spontaneous exposure of P-selectin and PS increased with time, while spontaneous LAMP-1 exposure was unchanged. In addition, agonist-induced LAMP-1 expression clearly discriminated platelet concentrates with reduced swirling from those with retained swirling. This suggests that LAMP-1 could be a good marker to capture changes in activation capacity in stored platelets. CONCLUSION The platelet activation potential seen as LAMP-1 exposure and fragmentation into platelet subpopulations is potential sensitive markers for the platelet storage lesion.

Abstract
PURPOSE Expression of lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 (LAMP1) on the surface correlates with metastatic potential of B16 melanoma cells. Downregulation of their expression in high metastatic (B16F10) cells reduced their surface expression and metastatic potential. Present investigations explore if overexpression of LAMP1 on the surface of low metastatic (B16F1) cells augment their metastatic ability, and if so, how? METHODS B16F1 cells were transduced with lentiviral vector carrying mutant-LAMP1 (Y386A) (mutLAMP1). Surface expression of LAMP1 and carbohydrates was analyzed by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and/or immunoprecipitation and Western blotting. Cell spreading and motility were assessed on components of extracellular matrix (ECM) (fibronectin) and basement membrane (BM) (matrigel), and galectin-3-coated coverslips/plates. Metastatic potential was assessed using experimental metastasis assay. RESULTS Pre-incubation with anti-LAMP1 antibodies significantly reduced lung metastasis of B16F10 cells. Overexpression of mutLAMP1 significantly increased its surface expression on B16F1 cells, resulting in increased cellular spreading and motility on fibronectin and matrigel. LAMP1 is the major carrier of poly-N-acetyllactosamine (polyLacNAc) on B16F10 cells. However, significantly higher expression of mutLAMP1 had no effect on galectin-3 binding on cell surface or on spreading or motility of cells on galectin-3-coated coverslips/plates. These cells also failed to show any gain in metastatic ability. This could be because LAMP1 from these cells carried significantly lower levels of polyLacNAc in comparison with B16F10 cells. CONCLUSIONS PolyLacNAc on B16F10 cells and galectin-3 on lungs are the major participants in melanoma metastasis. Although surface LAMP1 promotes interactions with organ ECM and BM, carbohydrates on LAMP1 play a decisive role in dictating lung metastasis.

Abstract
Exocytosis of lysosomal contents from platelets has been speculated to participate in clearance of thrombi and vessel wall remodelling. The mechanisms that regulate lysosomal exocytosis in platelets are, however, still unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the pathways underlying platelet lysosomal secretion and elucidate how this process is controlled by platelet inhibitors. We found that high concentrations of thrombin induced partial lysosomal exocytosis as assessed by analysis of the activity of released N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase (NAG) and by identifying the fraction of platelets exposing the lysosomal-associated membrane protein (LAMP)-1 on the cell surface by flow cytometry. Stimulation of thrombin receptors PAR1 or PAR4 with specific peptides was equally effective in inducing LAMP-1 surface expression. Notably, lysosomal exocytosis in response to thrombin was significantly reduced if the secondary activation by ADP was inhibited by the P2Y12 antagonist cangrelor, while inhibition of thromboxane A2 formation by treatment with acetylsalicylic acid was of minor importance in this regard. Moreover, the NO-releasing drug S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine (SNAP) or the cyclic AMP-elevating eicosanoid prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) significantly suppressed lysosomal exocytosis. We conclude that platelet inhibitors that mimic functional endothelium such as PGI2 or NO efficiently counteract lysosomal exocytosis. Furthermore, we suggest that secondary release of ADP and concomitant signaling via PAR1/4- and P2Y12 receptors is important for efficient platelet lysosomal exocytosis by thrombin.

Abstract
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, bleeding diathesis, and other variable symptoms. The bleeding diathesis has been attributed to δ storage pool deficiency, reflecting the malformation of platelet dense granules. Here, we analyzed agonist-stimulated secretion from other storage granules in platelets from mouse HPS models that lack adaptor protein (AP)-3 or biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex (BLOC)-3 or BLOC-1. We show that α granule secretion elicited by low agonist doses is impaired in all 3 HPS models. High agonist doses or supplemental adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) restored normal α granule secretion, suggesting that the impairment is secondary to absent dense granule content release. Intravital microscopy following laser-induced vascular injury showed that defective hemostatic thrombus formation in HPS mice largely reflected reduced total platelet accumulation and affirmed a reduced area of α granule secretion. Agonist-induced lysosome secretion ex vivo was also impaired in all 3 HPS models but was incompletely rescued by high agonist doses or excess ADP. Our results imply that (1) AP-3, BLOC-1, and BLOC-3 facilitate protein sorting to lysosomes to support ultimate secretion; (2) impaired secretion of α granules in HPS, and to some degree of lysosomes, is secondary to impaired dense granule secretion; and (3) diminished α granule and lysosome secretion might contribute to pathology in HPS.

Abstract
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young, type 8 (MODY8) is characterized by a syndrome of autosomal dominantly inherited diabetes and exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. It is caused by deletion mutations in the last exon of the carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) gene, resulting in a CEL protein with increased tendency to aggregate. In this study we investigated the intracellular distribution of the wild type (WT) and mutant (MUT) CEL proteins in cellular models. We found that both CEL-WT and CEL-MUT were secreted via the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi compartments. However, their subcellular distributions differed, as only CEL-MUT was observed as an aggregate at the cell surface and inside large cytoplasmic vacuoles. Many of the vacuoles were identified as components of the endosomal system, and after its secretion, the mutant CEL protein was re-internalized, transported to the lysosomes, and degraded. Internalization of CEL-MUT also led to reduced viability of pancreatic acinar and beta cells. These findings may have implications for the understanding of how the acinar-specific CEL-MUT protein causes both exocrine and endocrine pancreatic disease.

Abstract
Flow cytometry is a powerful and versatile tool which can be used to provide substantial phenotypic data on platelets by yielding quantitative information of their physical and antigenic properties. This includes surface expression of functional receptors, bound ligands, expression of granule components, interaction of platelets with other platelets via aggregation, or interaction with other blood components, such as leukocytes or the plasma coagulation system. Quantitative assessment of these parameters may facilitate the diagnosis of inherited or acquired platelet disorders, assist in the diagnosis of diseases associated with platelet activation, or assist in the monitoring of safety and efficacy of antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
The effects of varying concentrations of platelet-activating factor (PAF), arachidonic acid (AA) and collagen on the expression of the platelet activation markers CD63 and CD62P were assessed in 10 normal subjects using flow cytometry. CD63 expression was significantly greater than CD62P expression, with PAF (80 nM) inducing mean maximum CD63 expression of 32.9 ± 6.4% and mean maximum CD62P expression of 5.5 ± 1.8%. AA (1 mM) induced maximum CD63 expression of 37.7 ± 7% and maximum CD62P expression of 9.3 ± 1%. Collagen (2-80 pg/ml) induced minimal expression but 800 pg/ml induced mean CD63 expression of 33.1 ± 4.1% and mean CD62P expression of 6.1 ± 0.8%. Greater CD63 and CD62P expression were induced by phorbol myristate acetate (1.6 pM, 70.9 ± 11% and 69.4 ± 9.9%, respectively) and thrombin (0.1 U/ml, 70.7 ± 9.3% and 73.5 ± 5.4%, respectively). With PAF and collagen only one platelet population was detected whereas with 1 mM AA two populations were observed. These results indicate that expression of platelet adhesion receptors depends on the nature and concentration of agonist and that subpopulations of platelets may exist. Importantly, PAF concentrations inducing moderate CD63 and CD62P expression did not induce platelet aggregation, suggesting that platelets can be activated independently of aggregation.

Identification of a chicken CLEC-2 homologue, an activating C-type lectin expressed by thrombocytes. Immunogenetics 2011; 64:389-97.

Abstract
Receptors on natural killer (NK) cells are classified as C-type lectins or as Ig-like molecules, and many of them are encoded by two genomic clusters designated natural killer gene complex (NKC) and leukocyte receptor complex, respectively. Here, we describe the analysis of an NKC-encoded chicken C-type lectin, previously annotated as homologue to CD94 and NKG2 and thus designated chicken CD94/NKG2. To further elucidate its potential function on NK cells, we produced a specific mab by immunizing with stably transfected HEK293 cells expressing this lectin. Staining of various chicken tissues revealed minimal reactivity with bursal, or thymus cells. In peripheral blood mononuclear cell and spleen, however, the mab reacted with virtually all thrombocytes, whereas most NK cells in organs such as embryonic spleen, lung and intestine were found to be negative. These findings indicate that the gene may not resemble CD94/NKG2, but rather a CLEC-2 homologue, a claim further supported by sequence features such as an additional extracellular cysteine residue and the presence of a cytoplasmic motif known as a hem immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif, found in C-type lectins such as Dectin-1, CLEC-2, but not CD94/NKG2. The biochemical analyses demonstrated that CLEC-2 is present on the cell surface as heavily glycosylated homodimer, which upon mab crosslinking induced thrombocyte activation, as measured by CD107 expression. These analyses reveal that the chicken NKC may not encode NK cell receptor genes, in particular not CD94 or NKG2 genes, and identifies a chicken CLEC-2 homologue.

Abstract
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is a potentially lethal genetic disorder of immune dysregulation that requires prompt and accurate diagnosis to initiate life-saving immunosuppressive therapy and to prepare for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In the present study, 85 patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis were screened for FHL3 by Western blotting using platelets and by natural killer cell lysosomal exocytosis assay. Six of these patients were diagnosed with FHL3. In the acute disease phase requiring platelet transfusion, it was difficult to diagnose FHL3 by Western blot analysis or by lysosomal exocytosis assay. In contrast, the newly established flow cytometric analysis of intraplatelet Munc13-4 protein expression revealed bimodal populations of normal and Munc13-4-deficient platelets. These findings indicate that flow cytometric detection of intraplatelet Munc13-4 protein is a sensitive and reliable method to rapidly screen for FHL3 with a very small amount of whole blood, even in the acute phase of the disease.

Abstract
The amount of the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) on the osteoblastic cell surface is considered to determine the magnitude of the signal input to osteoclast precursors and the degree of osteoclastogenesis. Previously, we have shown that RANKL is localized predominantly in lysosomal organelles, but little is found on the osteoblastic cell surface, and consequently, the regulated subcellular trafficking of RANKL in osteoblastic cells is important for controlled osteoclastogenesis. Here we have examined the involvement of osteoprotegerin (OPG), which is currently recognized as a decoy receptor for RANKL, in the regulation of RANKL behavior. It was suggested that OPG already makes a complex with RANKL in the Golgi apparatus and that the complex formation is necessary for RANKL sorting to the secretory lysosomes. It was also shown that each structural domain of OPG is indispensable for exerting OPG function as a traffic regulator. In particular, the latter domains of OPG, whose physiologic functions have been unclear, were indicated to sort RANKL molecules to lysosomes from the Golgi apparatus. In addition, the overexpression of RANK-OPG chimeric protein, which retained OPG function as a decoy receptor but lost the function as a traffic regulator, inhibited endogenous OPG function as a traffic regulator selectively in osteoblastic cells and resulted in the upregulation of osteoclastogenic ability despite the increased number of decoy receptor molecules. Conclusively, OPG function as a traffic regulator for RANKL is crucial for regulating osteoclastogenesis at least as well as that as a decoy receptor.

Abstract
Laser-induced vessel wall injury leads to rapid thrombus formation in an animal thrombosis model. The target of laser injury is the endothelium. We monitored calcium mobilization to assess activation of the laser-targeted cells. Infusion of Fluo-4 AM, a calcium-sensitive fluorochrome, into the mouse circulation resulted in dye uptake in the endothelium and circulating hematopoietic cells. Laser injury in mice treated with eptifibatide to inhibit platelet accumulation resulted in rapid calcium mobilization within the endothelium. Calcium mobilization correlated with the secretion of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1, a marker of endothelium activation. In the absence of eptifibatide, endothelium activation preceded platelet accumulation. Laser activation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells loaded with Fluo-4 resulted in a rapid increase in calcium mobilization associated cell fluorescence similar to that induced by adenosine diphosphate (10 μM) or thrombin (1 U/mL). Laser activation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in the presence of corn trypsin inhibitor treated human plasma devoid of platelets and cell microparticles led to fibrin formation that was inhibited by an inhibitory monoclonal anti-tissue factor antibody. Thus laser injury leads to rapid endothelial cell activation. The laser activated endothelial cells can support formation of tenase and prothrombinase and may be a source of activated tissue factor as well.

Abstract
Treatment (from 5 to 25 weeks of age) with a novel blocking monoclonal antibody, mAb I-10, directed against the plasma membrane (pm) form of LAMP-1, protected against development of autoimmune diabetes in the NOD mouse. A shorter course of treatment, i.e. from 5 to 12 weeks of age, significantly reduced the occurrence of insulitis as well as disease onset. Interfering with pm-LAMP-1 required continuous treatment as tolerance was not observed when treatment was stopped, and no higher proportion of cells with a T regulatory phenotype (e.g. CD4(+)CD25(+)) were induced. The mechanism appears to involve modulating a proinflammatory cytokine, as the proportion of pancreatic-infiltrating IFN-gamma-positive cells was significantly reduced in the mAb I-10-treated group. These results demonstrate an unexpected role for pm-LAMP-1 in autoimmune disease progression, and suggest that further investigation should be performed to understand how this molecule modulates IFN-gamma-driven responses.

Abstract
Because of the great number of women who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and though this disease presents the lowest mortality rate among cancers, breast cancer remains a major public health problem. As for any cancer, the tumorigenic and metastatic processes are still hardly understood, and the biochemical markers that allow either a precise monitoring of the disease or the classification of the numerous forms of breast cancer remain too scarce. Therefore, great hopes are put on the development of high-throughput genomic and proteomic technologies. Such comprehensive techniques should help in understanding the processes and in defining steps of the disease by depicting specific genes or protein profiles. Because techniques dedicated to the current proteomic challenges are continuously improving, the probability of the discovery of new potential protein biomarkers is rapidly increasing. In addition, the identification of such markers should be eased by lowering the sample complexity; e.g., by sample fractionation, either according to specific physico-chemical properties of the proteins, or by focusing on definite subcellular compartments. In particular, proteins of the lysosomal compartment have been shown to be prone to alterations in their localization, expression, or post-translational modifications (PTMs) during the cancer process. Some of them, such as the aspartic protease cathepsin D (CatD), have even been proven as participating actively in the disease progression. The present review aims at giving an overview of the implication of the lysosome in breast cancer, and at showing how subproteomics and the constantly refining MS-based proteomic techniques may help in making breast cancer research progress, and thus, hopefully, in improving disease treatment.

Abstract
The European Stroke Prevention Study showed greater stroke prevention for Aggrenox than either for aspirin or dipyridamole alone. To test whether Aggrenox has superior antiplatelet properties to aspirin alone we conducted the AGgrenox versus Aspirin Therapy Evaluation (AGATE) trial. Forty patients with prior ischemic stroke not taking aspirin for at least 30 days were randomized to Aggrenox (2 pills/daily) or aspirin (81 mg plus matching placebo/daily) for 30 days. Platelet function was assessed at baseline, 24 h, and days 3, 7, 15, and 30 by aggregometry, flow cytometry and cartridge-based analyzers. Both Aggrenox and aspirin provided fast and sustained platelet inhibition. Aggrenox(R), however, especially after 15 days, showed significant prolongation of the closure time (P=0.04), diminished expression of platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) (P=0.01), glycoprotein IIb (GPIIb) antigen (P=0.02), and GPIIb/IIIa activity (P=0.01) by PAC-1 C antibody, CD63 (P=0.03), as well as inhibition of Protease Activated Receptors (PAR-1) associated with intact (SPAN12, P=0.01) and cleaved (WEDE15, P=0.01) thrombin receptors as compared with aspirin. Surprisingly, GPIb expression increased, especially after aspirin. In the randomized trial of small sample size, aspirin and Aggrenox produced fast and sustained platelet inhibition. In 25 of 90 direct comparisons, Aggrenox was superior to aspirin, whereas in 4 of 90, aspirin was superior to Aggrenox. In 61 of 90 direct comparisons, aspirin and Aggrenox were equivalent. Aggrenox was associated with a profound reduction of PAR-1 receptors, an observation that may be related to the greater clinical benefit of Aggrenox compared with Aspirin in preventing recurrent stroke.

Abstract
Mutation in the gene encoding cystatin-B (CSTB) has been shown to cause progressive myoclonus epilepsy. Mice with a gene deletion of CSTB exhibit increased apoptosis of specific neurons but the physiological role of CSTB in brain cells is not fully understood. In the present study, we have examined the expression of CSTB in neural stem cells (NSC) and in differentiating mature brain cells. The results show that CSTB is present in embryonic and adult NSC and in the neuroepithelium. CSTB was expressed by both neurons and glial cells differentiated from NSC and in hippocampal cultures. CSTB localized mainly to the nucleus in NSC and in neurons, whilst in astrocytes CSTB was also in the cytoplasm. Double labeling showed that CSTB was present in the lysosomes in glial cells. The results demonstrate a nuclear expression of CSTB in NSC and in neurons, suggesting novel function for this molecule.

Abstract
Platelet inhibition after aspirin therapy reduces the risk for the development of acute coronary syndromes. However, the mechanism by which aspirin affect platelets other than by prostaglandin blockade is unclear. We sought to determine the in vitro effects of aspirin on the surface expression of nine platelet receptors using whole blood flow cytometry. Blood from 24 healthy volunteers was incubated for 30 min with 1.8 and 7.2 mg/l phosphate-buffered saline-diluted acetylsalicylic acid in the presence or absence of apyrase. Platelet serotonin release, and the surface expression of platelet receptors with or without apyrase were determined using the following monoclonal antibodies: anit-CD41 [glycoprotein (GP)IIb/IIIa], CD42b (GPIb), CD62p (P-selectin), CD51/CD61 (vitronectin receptor), CD31 [platelet/endothelial cellular adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1)], CD107a [lysosomal associated membrane protein (LAMP)-1], CD107b (LAMP-2), CD63 (LIMP or LAMP-3), and CD151 (PETA-3). Samples were then immediately fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde, and run on the flow cytometer within 48 h. Aspirin does not affect serotonin release from human platelets. Dose-dependent inhibition of GPIIb/IIIa, P-selectin, CD63, and CD107a receptor expression was observed in the aspirin-treated whole-blood samples. Apyrase potentiates the effects of aspirin, and independently inhibits PECAM-1. In addition to the known effect of irreversibly inhibiting platelet cyclooxygenase-1, thereby blocking thromboxane A(2) synthesis, it appears that aspirin exhibits direct effects on selective major platelet receptors.

Abstract
In LAMP-2-deficient mice autophagic vacuoles accumulate in many tissues, including liver, pancreas, muscle, and heart. Here we extend the phenotype analysis using cultured hepatocytes. In LAMP-2-deficient hepatocytes the half-life of both early and late autophagic vacuoles was prolonged as evaluated by quantitative electron microscopy. However, an endocytic tracer reached the autophagic vacuoles, indicating delivery of endo/lysosomal constituents to autophagic vacuoles. Enzyme activity measurements showed that the trafficking of some lysosomal enzymes to lysosomes was impaired. Immunoprecipitation of metabolically labeled cathepsin D indicated reduced intracellular retention and processing in the knockout cells. The steady-state level of 300-kDa mannose 6-phosphate receptor was slightly lower in LAMP-2-deficient hepatocytes, whereas that of 46-kDa mannose 6-phosphate receptor was decreased to 30% of controls due to a shorter half-life. Less receptor was found in the Golgi region and in vesicles and tubules surrounding multivesicular endosomes, suggesting impaired recycling from endosomes to the Golgi. More receptor was found in autophagic vacuoles, which may explain its shorter half-life. Our data indicate that in hepatocytes LAMP-2 deficiency either directly or indirectly leads to impaired recycling of 46-kDa mannose 6-phosphate receptors and partial mistargeting of a subset of lysosomal enzymes. Autophagic vacuoles may accumulate due to impaired capacity for lysosomal degradation.

Abstract
Platelet granule exocytosis plays a critical role in thrombosis and wound healing. Platelets have three major types of secretory granules that are defined by their unique molecular contents, kinetics of exocytosis and morphologies. Although the ontogeny of platelet granules is poorly understood, a convergence of new insights into megakaryocyte development, the molecular mechanisms of vesicle trafficking and the genetic basis of platelet granule defects, is beginning to define the cellular and molecular pathways responsible for platelet granule ontogeny.

Abstract
Platelet inhibition after moderate alcohol consumption in patients with ischaemic heart disease may contribute to reducing the risk for developing acute coronary syndromes. However, the mechanism by which ethanol affects platelets is not clarified. We sought to determine the in vitro effects of alcohol on the surface expression of human platelet receptors using whole blood flow cytometry. Blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers were incubated for 30 min with 25 and 50 mmol l(-1) of phosphate buffered saline diluted grain ethanol, concentrations often used in in vitro studies. The surface expression of platelet receptors was determined by flow cytometry after fixation with 2% paraformaldehyde using the following monoclonal antibodies: CD 41 (GP IIb/IIIa), CD 42b (GP Ib), CD 62p (P-selectin), CD 51/CD 61 (vitronectin receptor), CD 31 (PECAM-1), CD 107a (LAMP-1), CD 107b (LAMP-2), CD 63 (LIMP, LAMP-3) and CD 151 (PETA-3). Dose-dependent inhibition of GP IIb/IIIa, P-selectin, CD 63 and CD 107a receptor expression was observed in the ethanol-treated whole blood samples. This study for the first time establishes a direct effect of ethanol on selective major platelet receptors. Beneficial cardiovascular properties of moderate alcohol consumption may be explained by ethanol's antiplatelet action.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets play an important role in the natural history of coronary artery disease. Enhanced platelet aggregation and receptor expression unquestionably occur after coronary stent implantation; however, the functional characteristics of platelets before stenting have not been fully elucidated. METHODS Platelets were assessed before intervention by platelet-rich plasma aggregation (PA) with 5 mmol adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and 1 mg/mL collagen; whole blood aggregation (WBA) by 1 mg/mL collagen; shear-induced closure time (CT); contractile force (CF); and expression of 9 surface receptors by flow cytometry in 126 patients undergoing elective coronary artery stent placement. All patients received aspirin for at least 7 days. The data were compared with those from 64 healthy volunteers. RESULTS Each test revealed sustained platelet activation in patients undergoing coronary stenting compared with control values. These differences were significant for collagen-induced PA (P =.031); CF (P =.0001); expression of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa (P =.0001); P-selectin (P =.0008); platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM)-1 (P =.0001); CD107a (P =.0001); CD107b (P =.0004); and CD63 (P =.009). CONCLUSION Platelets are indeed activated before coronary stenting despite antecedent therapy with aspirin.

Abstract
The folding and assembly of nascent proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum are assisted by the molecular chaperone calnexin, which is itself retained within the endoplasmic reticulum. It was up to now assumed that calnexin was selectively expressed on the surface of immature thymocytes because of a particular characteristic of the protein sorting machinery in these cells. We now report that a small fraction of calnexin is normally expressed on the surface of various cells such as mastocytoma cells, murine splenocytes, fibroblast cells, and human HeLa cells. Surface biotinylation followed by chase culture of living cells revealed that calnexin is continuously delivered to the cell surface and then internalized for lysosomal degradation. These results suggest that there is continuous exocytosis and endocytosis of calnexin, and the amount of calnexin on the plasma membrane results from the balance of the rates of these two events. To study the structural requirement of calnexin for surface expression, we created deletion mutants of calnexin and found that the luminal domain, particularly the glycoprotein binding domain, is necessary. These findings suggest that the surface expression of calnexin depends on the association with glycoproteins and that calnexin may play a certain role as a chaperone on the plasma membrane as well.

Abstract
Platelet function in whole blood can be comprehensively evaluated by flow cytometry. Flow cytometry can be used to measure platelet reactivity, circulating activated platelets, platelet-platelet aggregates, leukocyte-platelet aggregates, procoagulant platelet-derived microparticles, and calcium flux. Clinical applications of whole blood flow cytometric assays of platelet function in disease states (e.g., acute coronary syndromes, angioplasty, and stroke) may include identification of patients who would benefit from additional antiplatelet therapy and prediction of ischemic events. Circulating monocyte-platelet aggregates appear to be a more sensitive marker of in vivo platelet activation than circulating P-selectin-positive platelets. Flow cytometry can also be used in the following clinical settings: monitoring of GPIIb-IIIa antagonist therapy, diagnosis of inherited deficiencies of platelet surface glycoproteins, diagnosis of storage pool disease, diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, and measurement of the rate of thrombopoiesis.

Abstract
Whole blood flow cytometry is a powerful new laboratory technique for assessment of platelet activation and function. Flow cytometry can be used to measure platelet hyperreactivity, circulating activated platelets, leukocyte-platelet aggregates, and procoagulant platelet-derived microparticles in a number of clinical settings, including acute coronary syndromes, angioplasty, cardiopulmonary bypass, acute cerebrovascular ischemia, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia, and Alzheimer's disease. Clinical applications of whole blood flow cytometric assays of platelet function in these diseases may include identification of patients who would benefit from additional antiplatelet therapy and prediction of ischemic events. Circulating monocyte-platelet aggregates appear to be a more sensitive marker of in vivo platelet activation than circulating P-selectin-positive platelets. Flow cytometry can also be used in the following clinical settings: monitoring of glycoprotein IIb-IIIa antagonist therapy, diagnosis of inherited deficiencies of platelet surface glycoproteins, diagnosis of storage pool disease, diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, and measurement of the rate of thrombopoiesis.

Abstract
The advances that have been made over the last decade in microscopic, biochemical, molecular, and genetic techniques have led to substantial improvement in our understanding of platelet dense granule structure and function, and the implications of dense granule deficiencies for haemostasis. However, much has still to be learned. For example, what is the specific mechanism of docking and fusion that occurs during dense granule exocytosis? What are the roles of dense granule membrane proteins during exocytosis or after expression on the surface of activated platelets? Finally, how do the genetic defects identified in HPS and CHS result in the clinical phenotype of these diseases, and what does this tell us about the origin and function of the affected subcellular organelles?

Abstract
We report the isolation and characterization of the murine homologues to human and chicken lysosome-associated membrane protein (Lamp)-2 transcripts and their prevalent expression patterns during development. Lamp-2 transcripts code for proteins predominant in and specific for the lysosomal membrane. The function of these proteins is still under investigation. Other than in the lysosomal membrane, Lamp-2 proteins have been detected at the plasma membrane of cells in a differentiation dependent and activation dependent manner. They were also observed at the plasma membrane of cells, which secrete lysosomal hydrolases. Involvement of Lamp-2 in cell adhesion during such events has been proposed. A study of the developmental expression patterns of m-Lamp-2 transcripts was undertaken to help elucidate possible functions of their respective proteins. The m-Lamp-2b transcript was prevalent in neural crest derived ganglia. The m-Lamp-2a and -2c transcripts were similarly expressed in structures containing neural crest derived tissue with the strongest signals detected in thymus. However, m-Lamp-2a and -2c transcript expression differed in mesoderm or endoderm derived mesenchymal and epithelial tissues. M-Lamp-2c expression was pronounced in mesenchyme early in development, in limb connective tissue, and in lung parenchyma, whereas m-Lamp-2a was prevalent in the liver, the pancreas, and in differentiating kidney epithelium, and became increasingly prominent in the epithelial lining of the digestive and the respiratory tract during development. These results correlated with the detection of m-Lamp-2 protein in these tissues. In conclusion, all m-Lamp-2 transcripts were detected in tissues undergoing apoptosis during development requiring phagolysosome involvement. In addition, m-Lamp-2a and m-Lamp-2c transcripts were observed in epithelium and mesenchyme during the time of epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, mesenchymal-epithelial transformation, and branching. Their expression pattern became more tissue and cell type specific as differentiation progressed. These patterns indicate a possible involvement of m-Lamp-2 proteins in cell/cell or cell/extracellular matrix interaction, and appear to reflect tissue and cell type specific roles of lysosomes during morphogenesis.

Abstract
Based on the hypothesis that the attachment of neuroectodermal cells to thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) may affect tumor spread and play a role in the anti-tumor effects of retinoic acid, we investigated the expression of TSP-1 in these cells in situ and the effect of retinoic acid on the morphology of TSP-1-adherent neuroblastoma (SK-N-SH) and malignant astrocytoma (U-251MG) cells in vitro. TSP-1-adherent SK-N-SH cells demonstrated process outgrowth, with further neuronal differentiation after retinoic acid treatment, consistent with the in situ studies showing that TSP-1 expression occurs in a differentiation-specific manner in neuroblastic tumors. TSP-1-adherent U-251MG cells failed to spread; however, after retinoic acid treatment the cells demonstrated broad lamellipodia containing radial actin fibers and organization of integrins alpha3beta1 and alpha5beta1 in clusters in lamellipodia and filopodia. The attachment of both SK-N-SH and U-251MG cells to TSP-1 was found to be mediated by heparan sulfate proteoglycans, integrins, and the CLESH-1 adhesion domain first identified in CD36. Heparin and heparitinase treatment inhibited TSP-1 attachment. Integrins alpha3beta1 and alpha5beta1 mediated TSP-1 attachment of SK-N-SH cells, and integrins alpha3beta1, alpha5beta1, and alphavbeta3 mediated TSP-1 attachment of U-251MG cells. Attachment was dependent on the RGD sequence which is located in the carboxy-terminus of TSP-1. Treatment with a pharmacologic dosage of retinoic acid altered the TSP-1 cell adhesion mechanism in both cell lines in that neither heparin nor micromolar concentrations of the RGD peptide inhibited attachment; after treatment, attachment was inhibited by the CSVTCG peptide located in the type I repeat domain of TSP-1 and a recombinant adhesion domain (CLESH-1) from CD36. Expression of CD36 was found in the retinoic acid-treated U-251MG cells. These data indicate that neuroectodermally derived cells utilize several mechanisms to attach to TSP-1, and these are differentially modulated by treatment with retinoic acid. These data also suggest that the CSVTCG sequence of TSP-1 modulates or directs cytoskeletal organization in neuroblastoma and astrocytoma cells.

Abstract
Lysosomal membranes contain two highly glycosylated proteins, designated LAMP-1 and LAMP-2, as major components. LAMP-1 and LAMP-2 are structurally related. To investigate the physiological role of LAMP-1, we have generated mice deficient for this protein. LAMP-1-deficient mice are viable and fertile. In LAMP-1-deficient brain, a mild regional astrogliosis and altered immunoreactivity against cathepsin-D was observed. Histological and ultrastructural analyses of all other tissues did not reveal abnormalities. Lysosomal properties, such as enzyme activities, lysosomal pH, osmotic stability, density, shape, and subcellular distribution were not changed in comparison with controls. Western blot analyses of LAMP-1-deficient and heterozygote tissues revealed an up-regulation of the LAMP-2 protein pointing to a compensatory effect of LAMP-2 in response to the LAMP-1 deficiency. The increase of LAMP-2 was neither correlated with an increase in the level of lamp-2 mRNAs nor with increased half-life time of LAMP-2. This findings suggest a translational regulation of LAMP-2 expression.

Abstract
The role of platelets in thrombotic vascular disease has been widely studied in rabbits. Yet, in rabbit platelets, there is little known about the alpha-granules, which contain many of the key effector molecules for thrombosis. In this comparative study of rabbit platelets, we have characterized the structure and expression of P-selectin, an alpha-granule membrane protein that mediates leukocyte adhesion and thrombus propagation. The sequences of tryptic peptides of rabbit P-selectin show an overall sequence identity of 74% with human P-selectin, and 69-77% identity with cow, dog, mouse, rat and sheep P-selectins. The mean (+/- S.D.) apparent molecular mass of reduced rabbit P-selectin is 117 +/- 7 kDa which is approximately 8 kDa larger than the unreduced protein (109 +/- 5 kDa). Rabbit P-selectin appears smaller than human P-selectin, but is comparable to other species P-selectins, that have fewer 'complement regulatory protein' repeat domains. Cell membrane labeling experiments and antibody binding studies indicate that rabbit P-selectin is nearly absent from the surface of platelets (290 +/- 30 molecules cell-1). However, cellular activation with thrombin causes nearly a 30-fold increase in expression to 14,200 +/- 1100 molecules cell-1. P-selectin is also be expressed on the surface of rabbit platelets activated by other agonists like ADP, A23817 and epinephrine. This selective expression is explained by immunoelectronmicroscopic studies, which show that rabbit P-selectin is sequestered in the intracellular granules of resting platelets. After cell activation by thrombin, P-selectin is found decorating the external membranes of platelet pseudopodia and the surface connected canalicular system. In summary, these studies of P-selectin in rabbit platelets indicate that it is similar in structure, cell localization and expression to human and other species P-selectins. This suggests that studies of P-selectin in thrombosis in rabbits are likely to provide useful insights into the role of this molecule in human thrombotic vascular disease and related conditions.

Abstract
LIMPII (lysosomal integral membrane protein II) is one of a family of proteins structurally related to the cell surface glycoprotein CD36. We recently defined a single structural domain on CD36 that mediates binding to adhesive glycoprotein thrombospondin-1 (TSP1). The CD36-TSP1 interaction is known to play a role in platelet-tumor and platelet-monocyte adhesion, angiogenesis, and in monocyte uptake of apoptotic cells. To test whether LIMPII also binds TSP1, a LIMPII peptide corresponding to the TSP1 binding domain of CD36 was expressed as a recombinant glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein. In solid phase binding assays, purified 125I-TSP1 bound to immobilized GST/LIMPII in a time-dependent and saturable manner. Inhibition by excess unlabeled TSP1 or EDTA demonstrated specificity. LIMPII.TSP1 complex formation was specifically blocked by soluble LIMPII fusion protein, by monospecific rabbit IgG directed against the LIMPII peptide and by CD36 fusion proteins containing the TSP1 binding domain. Transfection of Bowes melanoma cells with a chimeric LIMPII cDNA that targets expression to the plasma membrane conferred the ability to bind 125I-TSP1 and to adhere to TSP1-coated surfaces. This study defines a TSP1 binding site conserved between LIMPII and CD36 and suggests that cell surface LIMPII may function in some circumstances as an adhesion receptor for TSP1. Computer-assisted homology searches suggest that the TSP1 recognition motif identified from study of CD36 family members may be widely expressed in nature.

Abstract
The extensively glycosylated lysosome-associated membrane proteins (LAMP)-2a, b, and c are derived from a single gene by alternative splicing that produces proteins with differences in the transmembrane and cytosolic domains. The lysosomal targeting signals reside in the cytosolic domain of these proteins. LAMPs are not restricted to lysosomes but can also be found in endosomes and at the cell surface. We investigated the subcellular distribution of chimeras comprised of the lumenal domain of avian LAMP-1 and the alternatively spliced domains of avian LAMP-2. Chimeras with the LAMP-2c cytosolic domain showed predominantly lysosomal distribution, while higher levels of chimeras with the LAMP-2a or b cytosolic domain were present at the cell surface. The increase in cell surface expression was due to differences in the recognition of the targeting signals and not saturation of intracellular trafficking machinery. Site-directed mutagenesis defined the COOH-terminal residue of the cytosolic tail as critical in governing the distributions of LAMP-2a, b, and c between intracellular compartments and the cell surface.

Abstract
Lysosomes are considered to be a terminal degradative compartment of the endocytic pathway, into which transport is mostly unidirectional. However, specialized secretory vesicles regulated by Ca2+, such as neutrophil azurophil granules, mast cell-specific granules, and cytotoxic lymphocyte lytic granules, share characteristics with lysosomes that may reflect a common biogenesis. In addition, the involvement of Ca2+ transients in the invasion mechanism of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which occurs by fusion of lysosomes with the plasma membrane, suggested that lysosome exocytosis might be a generalized process present in most cell types. Here we demonstrate that elevation in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration of normal rat kidney (NRK) fibroblasts induces fusion of lysosomes with the plasma membrane. This was verified by measuring the release of the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase, the appearance on the plasma membrane of the lysosomal glycoprotein lgp120, the release of fluid-phase tracers previously loaded into lysosomes, and the release of the lysosomally processed form of cathepsin D. Exposure to the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin or addition of Ca2+-containing buffers to streptolysin O-permeabilized cells induced exocytosis of approximately 10% of the total lysosomes of NRK cells. The process was also detected in other cell types such as epithelial cells and myoblasts. Lysosomal exocytosis was found to require micromolar levels of Ca2+ and to be temperature and ATP dependent, similar to Ca2+-regulated secretory mechanisms in specialized cells. These findings highlight a novel role for lysosomes in cellular membrane traffic and suggest that fusion of lysosomes with the plasma membrane may be an ubiquitous form of Ca2+-regulated exocytosis.

Abstract
A murine monoclonal antibody, designated as MAb AAP2, was produced by immunizing human activated platelets to BALB/c mice. MAb AAP2 recognizes a platelet membrane antigen that was present in trace amount on the membrane of resting platelets, and was strongly expressed on the membrane after activation with thrombin as demonstrated by immunofluorescence microscopy. Platelet granule fractionation by ultracentrifugation on sucrose density gradient and metrizamide showed that the target antigen of MAb AAP2 was located in alpha-granules but not in lysosomes or dense granules. On Western blot prepared with whole platelet lysate, MAb AAP2 bound to a 110-kDa protein under nonreducing and reducing conditions. These results suggest that MAb AAP2 recognizes a 110-kDa platelet antigen, which is primarily located on the alpha granule of platelets and translocated to and upgraded on the surface membrane upon activation.

Abstract
Lysosomes are the site of degradation of obsolete intracellular material during autophagy and of extracellular macromolecules following endocytosis and phagocytosis. The membrane of lysosomes and late endosomes is enriched in highly glycosylated transmembrane proteins of largely unknown function. Significant progress has been made in recent years towards elucidating the pathways by which these lysosomal membrane proteins are delivered to late endosomes and lysosomes. While some lysosomal membrane proteins follow the constitutive secretory pathway and reach lysosomes indirectly via the cell surface and endocytosis, others exit the trans-Golgi network in clathrin-coated vesicles for direct delivery to endosomes and lysosomes. Sorting from the Golgi or the plasma membrane into the endosomal system is mediated by signals encoded by the short cytosolic domain of these proteins. This review will discuss the role of lysosomal membrane proteins in the biogenesis of the late endosomal and lysosomal membranes, with particular emphasis on the structural features and molecular mechanisms underlying the intracellular trafficking of these proteins.
